Dr. Edward Dennis, President of Empower, states that the number of companies using open source Linux will double by 2007 and the most informed Chief Information Officers (CIO’s) will be in attendance at this showcase Exposition. Munich recently announced the wide deployment of Linux desktops in government offices. For Empower and its alliance partners, the show provides the perfect forum to introduce Empower’s next generation LinuxDA Embedded O/S (LEOs) and PowerPlay PDA products in one of the Linux capitals of the world.
Corporate giants such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, Sun Microsystems, Oracle and Siemens Telecommunications are exhibiting at the show.

This is one of the most challenging tasks the Company faces today and it is a critical key to the future of Empower’s success, not only domestically but internationally as well.
The Linux World Conference and Expo 2004 in Frankfurt, Germany signals the beginning of Empower’s major marketing push to win LEOs licensees and to drive product sales.
Over 22 nations will be visiting the Exposition and their representatives make 80% of the procurement decisions for their companies and over 60% plan on investing in Linux solutions, services and Linux operating system based products.
